[Workaround] copy Parent issue custom field when creating a subtask

Alexey Paveliev_pgpak4

for the context:

One onboarding request needs to be executed by multiple people

I have set up a set of rules to create sub-tasks and assign them to different people.

I need to copy some information from the parent request to a child sub-task

I know many people struggled with this. I've seen their community posts. For some re-fetch prior to issue creation worked, but not for me.

I have set up an extra rule to trigger upon an Issue Created event, to check if issue is a sub-task and has a keyword in the summary. But it does not ever trigger. 

When I set it to trigger manually and run it manually from Issue view it runs and does what I need: it copies a check boxes values from the parent's custom field to the child's description perfectly

Requested access:
{{issue.parent.customfield_12931.value}} 

This is very frustrating. How do I get this to work?

Any help is much appreciated

This needs to be checked in the second rule to trigger:

[ ] Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule.

But this is still a workaround. I wish I didn't have to create this rule altogether
